By now most people in the UK will have heard about the Royal Mail strike action to begin this Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd October. This will affect delivery services, but yay! EE can still get your orders out to you!

All Eclectic Eccentricity packages delivered
within the UK
are sent via Royal Mail Tracked or Special Delivery. Unlike standard mail,
Royal Mail expects to continue delivery of Tracked and Special Delivery items
on strike days (beginning Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd October) - although we've been told to expect normal service, RM are advising that they cannot guarantee delivery dates on these two days, so to be on the safe side, do allow a smidge more time for your order to arrive. All orders are fully trackable however, so if you do want to find out where your package is within the system, do ask us for your tracking number.

The office here at EE is normally a busy place with people coming and going most of the day, so it's a rare thing to have the place to myself. This afternoon was one of those times and whilst it felt oddly far too quiet, I took full advantage and designed up some new LuluLuxe pieces. I've had these sitting on my desk for a while and I've been gradually mulling over in my head where I wanted to go with the new additions to the LuluLuxe family. I went with wishbones, tigers and my favourite... robots. An eclectic mix, no?

So say hi to the new love of my life, Mr Robot. He's been the centre of discussion for a while now with the guys at EE wanting a Transformer theme and the girls wanting something a little more.... floral? Whilst I did take on Tom's idea to have the robot magically transform into a lorry, it was sadly a physical impossibility. So floral won! He's The Perfect Gentleman. How so? I have a check list.

Intelligent. He has a
computer for a brain, afterall.

Cute. In a slightly robotic way.

Witty. Although I have discovered that he can occasionally be a little dry.

Great dance moves. Who hasn't seen the classic 'robot' on a Saturday night?

Two new additions have been added to EE's line of luxe pieces - for the adventurous type there's Far and Away and for those with a love of all things mystical, there's the limited edition No Place Like Gnome!

After the huge success of an old EE favourite, the original hot balloon necklace - Up Up and Away, I was keen to work with the idea again, and so the Luxe version of Far And Away was born. I fell in love with these charms when I found them - so incredibly detailed, they even have miniature sand bags! And people waving! What's not to love? The faceted 'balloon' reflects all the colours of the rainbow as it catches the light - and with the three small 'clouds' up above, it's perfect for those who are always looking up.

And next, one inspired by the husband. Not that he'd wear a necklace, but he does have a love for gnomes. No Place Like Gnome!

Another highly detailed charm - this little gnome home has a window, a front door, a chimney and even a tiled roof! You can open it up to reveal the little resident snug as a bug inside. He's accompanied by a cherry red Swarovski butterfly - cheery! This one is a limited edition, so if you like it, snap it up quick!
